GW Environmental’s Services

GW Environmental’s services cover four primary areas:

• Asbestos Consulting
• Lead and Lead-based Paint Consulting
• Mold/Fungi and Indoor Air Quality Consulting
• Permitting for Pollution Emission Sources

Compliance with current building codes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, disclosure requirements during property transfers, and the large number of environmental regulations in effect present increasingly complex challenges for our clients.

Whether the issue is asbestos, lead, indoor air quality, or other regulatory-driven situations, GW Environmental can provide the expertise, advice and technical assistance necessary to assess current environmental risks, design methods for managing the costs of compliance or remediation, and design plans for minimizing future liability.

Why Use GW Environmental – Secure On-line Client Access to Project Information and Client-driven Customer Service

GW Environmental has maintained a high level of Client service and is responding to the communications and information management needs of its Clients with secure on-line Client access to project information. GW Environmental assists its Clients with improved communication among authorized individuals through the implementation of an internet-based project information tool.

The software provides the Client with a secure central repository of project activity and tightly integrates project information with project communications. The web site is accessible by any authorized individual with any standard web browser from any location with Internet access and allows easy access to all project information. The web site provides a tool that individuals can use to discuss issues, review alternatives, and achieve resolution in real time without costly travel or delays.

With its basis in the World Wide Web, the web site provides several enhancements that can prove invaluable to projects that may include multiple locations or multiple interested parties. Use of the web site can:

• provide true "centralization" of project information, giving authorized individuals and team members the right information at the right time and place
• reduce costly and time-consuming manual distribution (mail, fax, etc.)
• permit project documents to be shared with authorized individuals and team members from other authorized firms
• deliver information in secure electronic form that is formatted to prevent modification or manipulation
• automatically catalog activities
• provide a tool for authorized individuals and team members to use when reviewing project documents.

GW Environmental is uniquely qualified to provide assessment services related to both environmental and engineering issues through a single point of contact. With extensive credentials in highly regulated environmental consulting and assessment disciplines, along with state-of-the art analytical tools (such as X-Ray Florescence devices for on-site Lead-based Paint analysis) our consultants help clients efficiently assess their risk of regulatory and financial liability.

Of primary significance to the Real Estate professional, our experience in conducting environmental site assessments and property transfer condition surveys can help address the risk of inheriting an unexpected environmental or maintenance liability. Problems can be discovered through due-diligence surveys, environmental risk analysis, building component analysis, and repair cost estimates.
